Analyis of the race

Not a great maiden hurdle but that will not matter to the connections of ADVANCEMENT as the five-year-old, having only his third try over hurdles, landed a punt in a driving finish. He had not shown that much in his other two attempts but he had formon soft ground on the Flat according to his trainer and that, along with a sterling ride, saw him land the spoils. Quite what he achieved is open to question but the front two came clear of the others which suggests the form is sound.

Master Wellshas a mark of 105 which is seemingly high enough for what he has actually achieved. He looked like winning only to be worried out of it in the dying strides. He has a modest race in him if repeating this run.
